The 3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system is twice as powerful and faster than the standard MRI machines typically used for patient care imaging, greatly improving the diagnostic capabilities at St. Elizabeth. This state-of-the-art imaging tool can more accurately diagnose routine and hard-to-detect conditions such as heart vessel problems; stroke; aneurysms; prostate cancer; spinal cord lesions; spinal disc injuries; bone, joint and cartilage damage; renal artery problems and many others.
Like all equipment at the St. Elizabeth Imaging Center, the 3 Tesla MRI is digital and part of their technologically advanced Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). With PACS, physicians can view images from any of the medical center imaging equipment at remote locations, including their offices, and more than one person can view the same image at the same time for consultations.
A stroke is brain damage caused by a blocked or bleeding artery in the brain. The American Stroke Association estimates that nearly 800,000 people will suffer a new or recurrent stroke this year. View more information about CHI Health stroke care.
